image CURL problem

[pedroz]

Dear coders,

I would be very glad if you could help me with this problem.
I cannot use cookies, sessions or html <img command and I would like to display an image while running index.php and keep executing the script but it stops when I include test.php. Any ideas to solve this ?

Thanks

Conditions:
// NO COOKIES, NO SESSIONS
// NO <img src=’teste.php?id=fox1’…

FILE 1 index.php

$id='fox1';

include ("test.php");
image_display($id);

// PROBLEM HERE! 
// code stops in the line above. doesn’t execute the lines below
echo "output: ".$id;
echo “THE END”;

FILE 2 test.php

function image_display($id){

$ch = curl_init("http://www.google.es/images/firefox/".$id.".gif");
if (!$ch) { die( "Cannot allocate a new PHP-CURL handle" ); }

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);

$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
print ($data);

The problem is that once you set header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); , the rest of the page is intended to be an image.

So what happens is that "output: ".$id is output and tacked on to the end of the JPEG data - but gets ignored as garbage by the code rendering the image.

curl_init("http://www.google.es/images/firefox/".$id.".gif"); <--- this is a GIF image not a JPG

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

should that be? header("Content-type: image/gif");
